In today's lab, we viewed various tissues under the microscopes. Some of the tissues were harder to draw than others, because every tissue looked a little different, or had a different shape. Every tissue has a different anatomy which helps them perform a different function. For example, the blood tissue and bone tissue shown below look completely different. Relating back to my cell specialization post about blood cells, blood cells are built smaller, which enables them to travel through veins and arteries to deliver materials to and from cells. The bone tissue, on the other hand, looks rigid. According to our class lecture notes, bones are a type of connective tissue which support the body. Thus the rigid anatomy of the tissue supports its function.
